Anne Galloway
Behaviour Change Advisory Lead
After more than 15 years of university research and teaching in Canada and at Victoria University of Wellington, Anne most recently worked at Ministry for the Environment putting her behaviour change expertise to good use on environmental policy. With a background in anthropology and design, Anne focuses on understanding people's lived experience and how it connects to climate change.
She’s interested in how different cultures relate to the natural world, and how people take care of the places and things they love. Anne enjoys connecting with the whenua, growing food and flowers, and spending time with her sheep, ducks, cat and the native birds around her rural home.
